Hi everyone, it’s my first post on mumsnet, I spent a LOT of time reading through these threads when ttc my son and they helped so much.

Now I’m back ttc my second and it is only our second cycle and I am already much more desperate for it to happen than I was the first time around with my son 3 years a go.

I think it’s because it took us 10 cycles to conceive my son and I’m already heartbroken over it potentially taking that long (or longer) this time around.

Anybody else out there ttc their second baby and feeling the same anxiety? I swear I drove myself mad last cycle, it’s no wonder it happened really, I was borderline insane with googling, symptom spotting and even poas as early as 4dpo Confused

@L0ts maybe 12DPO but I would keep BDing and wait for more data. BBT charts are so hard

L0ts · 25/11/2021 14:21

I’m awful at reading bbt charts! When would you ladies say I likely ovulated?

Have to say a huge thank you for this thread @L0ts - it’s definitely brought us luck 🍀🥰 so chuffed for everyone having bfp’s - and wishing lots of baby dust to everyone trying x

L0ts · 23/11/2021 17:46

@kmbegs I do yeah, I’ll wait and see what that says! I’ve had (sorry tmi) tons of ewcm the last 2/3 days too! I’m trying not to get too hopefully 😂

kmbegs · 23/11/2021 17:17

@L0ts it's so confusing. Do you do BBT? If so just keep BDing until your temp goes up.

L0ts · 23/11/2021 16:58

So I’m cycle day 14 and today was my third day of having positive OPKs. Has this happened to anybody else before? I’m so confused now as to when I’ve ovulated? 😂

Massive congratulations!!!

L0ts · 20/11/2021 14:43

@has30 CONGRATULATIONS ✨❤️

That’s a beautiful second line on that test 😍 So so pleased for you!

I’m claiming this as a lucky thread, each cycle since I started it we’ve had a BFP ❤️

WingingIt101 · 20/11/2021 12:44

@has30 absolutely chuffed!! Huge congratulations and wishing you a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy! We are only a month apart! X

@has30 keep us updated of how you go with everything will be lovely to hear from you
Wishing you a healthy 9 months 🌟👼xx

has30 · 20/11/2021 07:06

@Borolass84 yes it was. 2-3 weeks as well I was quite shocked. Good luck all for your journeys. Only thing I can say is this time round I had zero pregnancy symptoms, so I guess don't feel too disheartened if you don't get any (I know I did haha) thank you for being a supportive group.

Borolass84 · 20/11/2021 00:11

@has30 was digital positive too? If so a huge congratulations Smile

has30 · 19/11/2021 21:33

@WingingIt101 haha yes it is. It's a cheapo one from Tesco 2 for a pound. I didn't want to waste a digital, but when I saw the two lines I had to do a digital as I didn't trust the cheap ones!

@Kiaa thank you!

WingingIt101 · 19/11/2021 21:20

@has30 I’ve not seen those tests before - dare I ask if that’s a bfp?!?!

Kiaa · 19/11/2021 20:51

@has30 Omg congratulations so so happy for you what a lovely surprise 😍💜

@has30 yes; we don’t go in over winter as it’s too cold so ideal time to test the theory ha

has30 · 18/11/2021 22:09

@Borolass84 sorry to hear this. Hot tubs are awful aren't they! Hopefully it will help not going in it over the next few months

Borolass84 · 18/11/2021 21:06

@kiaa Yeah says any damage can be rectified in 6 months so hoping this helps

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 21:04

@Borolass84 sorry to hear about Af
I've actually heard the hot tub thing before hopefully not using it for a while will help x

Borolass84 · 18/11/2021 12:06

@has30 AF came yesterday Sad Read about hot tubs and fertility. We stopped using ours beginning of October and won’t be using over winter so see if we can rule that out. Going for last lot of bloods at 1.30pm and still waiting on OH SA results too.

@Kiaa sorry to hear about bfn

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 11:17

@has30 it's ok I think I'm used to it now it gotta be when we least expect it right
Yes next month af near Xmas week only thing is my partner is going away for work next fertile week not feeling lucky

I really hope to hear some good news from you 🤞💫

has30 · 18/11/2021 09:55

@Kiaa sorry to hear that. I bet you're like me where you'll be due AF right around Christmas Day next month!!
I'm due AF Sunday, I've no symptoms whatsoever so I've not been tempted to test early. If I get to Monday without AF showing then I'll do a test.

Kiaa · 18/11/2021 09:00

@has30 sorry no good news bfn :( still waiting for Af now
how you going? x

has30 · 18/11/2021 07:50

@Kiaa and @Borolass84 any news from you both?
